Best Work Stand for Aero/Carbon Frames
In need of a new work stand. I work on my TT bike, some friends TT rigs, and carbon bikes. With aero seatposts and masts, having some difficulty with stability on older Park stand. Caveat, sometimes building frames up from scratch, so anything with a fork mount will be only partially functional. Any suggestions??

I use a PRS-2 which is the big shop stand and use the super wide adjustable clamp. It will do two different mounting ways and fits aero tubed seatposts well. And the clamp is pretty well padded but I always add more. |

Feedback Pro stand has a mount head that deals with aero seatposts rather well.

No carbon here. Also no aero tubing, either. But I'm using this one and like it a LOT! It's a Feedback Sprint workstand.

I admit (slightly embarrassingly) I splurged on the Hirobel.. it is ridiculously over priced but does what it says. If it was $99, they'd sell tons more.
I have a Sprint stand too, but still too inconvenient for me, the Hirobel is more conducive to throwing the bike onto it for minor stuff. |

Another vote for the Feedback Sports Sprint Stand. Love mine!!
I also have their Classic workstand (actually it is an Ultimate before it was bought out by Feedback) with the clamp mentioned above. I use both but prefer the Sprint Stand for my carbon bikes. Makes cleaning and adjusting very easy. |

Thank you gents. Was looking at Feedback, but the most recent work session with two aero frames got me thinking of more,
Eddief - that's an interesting adaptor for clamps. I wonder....but need a new stand anyway, so.. |

Feedback is the way to go.

Park PRS-25 is another choice if you don't want to remove the front wheel all the time.

I like mine and it works perfectly with the pro stand from Feedback.

If you crack your frame in a stand, then you deserve to have a cracked frame.

I like the Park 100-3D clamp, it is the newer style with an quick release handle/lever. It fits most aero seatposts securely and works well in my stand, except the lever bolt occasionally loosens up so you just have to watch it. The feedback clamp squeezes on the sides of the seat post and isn't deep enough for some aero seatposts imo, but it works well for the majority. Obviously, with any clamp, you shouldn't be clamping it with herculean strength on lightweight parts.
The hirobel adapter mentioned above is a nice idea and if you dont mind the price its a well thought out tool. If I needed something like it at home I would probably just put the bike on my hitch rack for a similar effect. If I was still in a bike shop I think it would be good tool for customers to see you using, it shows professional care for their bikes, and is useful at the same time. The sprint style stands fairly secure, and they are also adaptable for recumbents and trikes. That you have to take the wheels off to work on them, and can't rotate the frame is really the only downsides to the sprint style stands... also the numerous thru-axle "standards" make so you juggle adapters unless it's your only bike. |

I like the Hirobel clamp. And given they are local to me it's great to see them doing well. But I don't like that it's kind of bulky and does get in the way at times. At least that's what i've encountered.
I end up going back to my Park clamp. |
